HPI E-Firestorm

Price: £199.99 Contact: 01283 229400, www.hpieurope.com

Waterproof 1:10-scale off-roader from HPI is really powerful thanks to its Li-Po battery and 15-turn motor. The box says it’s capable of 50mph, and we believe it – this is a really fast model. But while it’s far more enjoyable to drive than the similarly priced Tamiya Fast Attack, the E-Firestorm isn’t as much fun as the Mini Recon or Carrera Fire Truck.
